Louie Cioffi was named defensive backs coach, Joe Cullen defensive line coach and Shane Steichen as an offensive quality control coach.

“I am excited to have Joe, Louie and Shane as part of our staff,” Chudzinski said in a statement released by the team. “And believe that their knowledge of the game and coaching ability will be great assets to our players.”

Cioffi joins new defensive coordinator Ray Horton in Cleveland after working under him the last 2 seasons in Arizona.

“Louie is very well respected in the NFL,” Chudzinski said. “He possesses extensive experience working alongside some of the top defensive coaches in this league. He has worked closely with Ray [Horton], which will be a big advantage for our team.”

Cullen, who has 18 years of NFL coaching experience but a checkered past, spent the last 3 seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars where he held the same position.

In 2006, while an assistant with the Detroit Lions, Cullen was arrested for driving while under the influence. He was arrested in a separate incident for driving through a Wendy’s nude but claimed to not remember the incident because he “blacked out.” He was fined by the NFL $20,000 and ordered to perform 10 days of community service and attend AA meetings.

“Joe has been an outstanding coach throughout his career,” Chudzinski said. “I was very impressed with the way he has been able to develop young players both at the collegiate level and at each of his two stints in the NFL, and his ability as a teacher will benefit our players as well.”

Offensive coordinator Norv Turner is familiar with Steichen. He was a defensive assistant the last 2 seasons for the Chargers while Turner was head coach.
